Urhistorien 5/7 | "En vandflod skal aldrig mere ødelægge jorden..." | Daniel Lanting

Hovedpointer:

- Regnbuen udtrykker, at Gud vil opretholde skaberværket.

- Det er Gud selv, der bærer alle menneskers synd på korset.

- Bibelens budskab er et angreb på menneskers stolthed.

Bibelhenvisninger:

Første Mosebog kapitel 9, vers 8-11

Johannesevangeliet kapitel 1, vers 29

Johannes' Åbenbaring kapitel 4, vers 1-4

Citater:

“In the one case Christ is pictured as intervening in order to pacify an angry God and wrest from him a grudging salvation. In the other, the intervention is ascribed to God, who proceeds to punish the innocent Jesus in place of us the guilty sinners who had deserved the punishment. In both cases God and Christ are sundered from one another: either Christ persuades God or God punishes Christ. What is characteristic of both presentations is they denigrate the Father. Reluctant to suffer himself, he victimizes Christ instead. Reluctant to forgive, he is prevailed on by Christ to do so. He is seen as a pitiless ogre whose wrath has to be assuaged, whose disinclination to act has to be overcome, by the loving self-sacrifice of Jesus ...

Such crude interpretations of the cross still emerge in some of our evangelical illustrations, as when we describe Christ as coming to rescue us from the judgment of God, or when we portray him as a whipping-boy who is punished instead of the real culprit, or as the lightning conductor to which the lethal electrical charge is deflected.”  

(John Stott, The Cross of Christ, Inter-Varsity Press)

”At et menneske, der selv var blevet korsfæstet, kunne blive hyldet som en gud, kunne blandt alle folkeslag i Romerriget kun opfattes som skandaløst, hæsligt og grotesk.” 

(Tom Holland, Herredømmet, Kristeligt Dagblads Forlag)

Spørgsmål:

- Hvad betyder det, når Gud lover at han vil bevare skaberværket?

- Hvordan kan Gud bærer menneskers synd?

- Hvordan kan vi tale balanceret om det, der skete på korset?

- Er det rigtigt at Bibelens budskab rammer vores stolthed?
